The old-school hacker ethos isn't dead.
It's just hiding in the junk box.
Part technical journal. Part hacker culture artifact. Part field notes from the Interzone. 12 pages of unfiltered DIY tech culture.
Cyber-Tek Zine #33⅓ digs into the spaces between modern technology, retro-computing, radio, DIY electronics, cyberpunk culture, and good old-fashioned curiosity.
Finding fellow marginal types and getting your ideas into the wild without relying entirely on algorithmic gatekeepers.
Liminal spaces, radio propagation, legacy telephone infrastructure, antennas, coax, and the strange technological ghosts left behind by yesterday's networks.
Building a practical old-school electronics and computing library without spending a fortune.
Crystal radios, galena, pyrite, homemade components, junk-box engineering, and radio receivers that can begin with stuff dug out of the ground.
AI, vibe coding, old-school hacking, BASIC, and what happens when a new machine becomes another tool for curious people to experiment with.
Surplus hardware, swap meets, vintage computers, embedded systems, BASIC Stamp, and the continuing art of making do with what you've got.
